It did dull the chrome and the blue came back maybe 90% on the next heat cycle. I'm certain my (dyno)tune was correct so that wasn't the issue. A plating shop told me that the heat which causes blueing permanently changes the compostiion of the chrome. Stainless might be a different story?

Just my .03 and I've built a bunch of Harleys...


TRUST ME --- Stainless isn't any different -- the BLUE AWAY dulled the polished surface (was like a mirror - maybe even better!).... and it all discolored within a couple minutes of firing it off... JUST A GIGANTIC WASTE OF TIME.
